In the News
I’ve said it many times before but it is always worth saying again. CSA farming is an exciting career. Ok, maybe I never said that before but it is. How many of you in non-CSA-farming occupations get a call in the morning from a reporter at a local TV station who wants to do a […]
And They’re Off…
Just a bunch of stuff to tied us over until the 40 days and 40 nights are done. This is the first week of the season! It is interesting how the various first weeks have gone over the last 12 years. Some seasons the first week is great. Everything timed out perfectly. The weather cooperated. […]
How Sweet It Isn’t
This was a great week for farmin’! With the nice weather at the end of the week we got a lot done. With the exception of our sweet potatoes (don’t get me started on the sweet potatoes), everything has been transplanted into the field. That’s not to say we are done transplanting for the year. […]

We’re Farming Outdoors!
This week’s plan is working to perfection. On Monday we worked getting the hoop house ready to plant the sweet potatoes sometime in May. It was too wet to plant in the field so the hoop house was part of the perfect plan. Come Tuesday the sun and wind from Monday had dried the field […]
